Hand-led pony rides are perfect for small, short events such as birthday parties and farm to school days.
Each hand-led pony will be accompanied by one professional handler and can give approximately 20 rides per hour. Most ponies will hold up to 95 lbs, but larger ponies are available on request.
Petting zoos almost always accompany pony rides because it gives children who are not riding an activity to do while they wait.
Live pony carousels are recommended for larger and longer events when there will be more than 30-40 children per hour of the event. Live carousels are great for crowd control. They can include 3-8 ponies and can accommodate 60-160 children per hour and additional carousels can be used for very large events.
Tents may be required for the carousel on days when the temperature exceeds 80 degrees and no natural shade is available. Petting zoos almost always accompany pony rides because it gives children who are not riding an activity to do while they wait.
